After breakfast, drive via Narok to the Masai Mara National Reserve offering wonderful scenery and plenty of game with a Enroute photo stop at the Great Rift Valley. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago. With over 450 species of bird. Explore the plains and rolling hills for a chance to spot the elephant, black manned lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, and with diverse species of hoofed animals.
Arrive at your camp for check-in and have lunch. The accent here is on the Masai people and the wealth of wildlife, birdlife, and natural flora to be found in the fabled Masai Mara Game Reserve. Fig Tree Camp is located on the banks of the Talek River and offers both luxury tents and chalet accommodation. The camp is situated on the northern border of the national reserve and its central location makes all areas of the reserve accessible during game drives. Fig Tree has been carefully designed to blend in with the natural environment and provide luxury hospitality for all guests. After noon game drive. Overnight at your camp.
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, day spent game-viewing in the reserve from 0900hrs - 1500hrs. Picnic lunch will be served. Afterwards proceed to a Masai village visit en-route to your loge. With over 450 species of birds and animal species, explore the plains and rolling hills for a chance to spot the elephant, black-manned lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, and with diverse species of hoofed animals. Dinner and overnight at your camp.
Masai Mara offers an absolutely unique variety of animals. The reason is that this hilly region is both humid and fertile, and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers, full of crocodiles and hippos. The abundance of water and excellent availability of food are the reasons why the Masai Mara, which in fact is a continuation of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park, has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic spectacle from July to October, the annual migration of huge herds of Gnus and zebras. Predators such as Hyenas, Jackals, Leopards and Lions of course, closely follow these herds. Gigantic herds of over 200 buffaloes can also be observed. Plenty of food is available for elephants, giraffes, and the many species of antelopes.
Optional extra activities:
Nature walks
Balloon Safaris
The traditional Masai village is called a Manyatta and consists of a number of small cow dung made huts with thatched roofs. The huts are placed in a circle with livestock in the middle and a thick thorny fence for protection against the nightly predators. First, they welcome you with some chanting. They also proceed to show how high they can jump and get you try jumping higher than them. With the assistance of a local Masai chief, you take the informative tour around the Manyatta, building fires without matches, how to make bracelets and necklaces with beeds and other exciting innovative experiences.
Overnight at your camp.
